Ditto.
Just completed a 600 mile trip in the X5 on one tank with gas to spare.
I do find it interesting that the guys in the US face higher prices for diesel. Since we've had both of our diesels, it has cost anywhere from 25-90 cents less than
premium fuel (currently 68 cents less). Our ML gets slightly better mileage than the X5.
